Walmart Launches New Time-Saving Express Experience in North Dakota

BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For customers, time is money. Today, Walmart is announcing that North
Dakota customers can now use Express Money Services, the first of two
Express services rolling out this year to help busy customers save even
more time in-store. A similar express experience for Pharmacy customers
is expected to launch later this year.

Express Money Services is a new feature in the Walmart app that is
combined with in-store Express Lanes* to help expedite customers’ Money
Services transactions. To celebrate its launch, Walmart is waiving fees
on Walmart2Walmart domestic money transfers initiated using the Walmart
App in all stores through September 30, 2017 – saving customers $4 to
$16 per transaction and time spent in line at the store.

“We want to make every day easier for busy North Dakota families, and
offering a seamless shopping experience for Money Transfers makes this a
reality,” said Kirsty Ward, vice president, Walmart Services. “The new
experience is faster for both associates and customers, and with our
offer to send funds fee-free via Walmart2Walmart using Express Money
Services, there’s no better time to try our unique service.”

Customers using Express Money Services will enjoy a dramatically faster,
easier and more convenient experience using the Walmart App. Previously,
customers needed to fill out lengthy money transfer paperwork in stores;
now, this work can be done while at home or on-the-go using the Walmart
App.

Once at the store, customers can now fast-track through a dedicated
Express Lane to quickly complete their transaction. With the help of the
app, they simply scan a QR code at the debit reader with their
smartphone and pay the cashier; receipts and transaction details are
saved electronically – helping to make future transactions even more
convenient. The app upgrade also allows customers to easily send pickup
information to receivers through email or text message.

Express Money Services is initially available for domestic and
international money transfers and will expand to include bill payments
and check cashing.

Walmart introduced its groundbreaking money transfer service,
Walmart2Walmart, three years ago with the goal of bringing customers
dramatically lower costs and a simpler money transfer experience. Since
that time, millions of Walmart customers have enjoyed more than half a
billion dollars in fee savings using this service.
